What do you get in our Ethernet Over MPLS (EoMPLS) dataset?
This module of point-to-point backbone telecom pricing allows users to benchmark Ethernet services on key global routes. This database focus on long-haul city-to-city routes between major global business centers. Both domestic and international routes are covered in our list of tracked and surveyed routes.
Currently, there are more than 150 routes in the database that are actively tracked. Users can locate prices for connections to Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Central America, and South America.

What do you get in our EoSDH/EoSONET dataset?
EoSDH/EoSONET refers to a Layer 2 dedicated, point-to-point Ethernet private line transport service delivered over a SDH or SONET circuit. In this module, we focus on long-haul city-to-city routes between major global business centers.
Both domestic and international routes are covered in our list of tracked and surveyed routes. Price points for this service are meant to refer to the core transport network service itself between two carrier points-of-presence. Any additional local access, cross connect, or other bundled services are not included in this service; the transport alone is reflected in the collected price points.
Currently, there are more than 150 routes in the database that are actively tracked. Users can locate prices for connections to Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Central America, and South America.

What do you get in our IP Transit dataset?
This database contains wholesale internet access data points from over 30 carriers in 100 + cities. Calling on more than 500,000 data points, it includes prices for nearly 20 port capacity configurations from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps, including a variety of committed data rates.
Our surveys capture monthly recurring charges and non-recurring installation charges for a sample of locations, port sizes, and committed data rates. Pricing data is updated quarterly, and is available back to Q2 2005.

What do you get in our Local Access dataset?
This module focuses on real prices paid by carriers for leased private lines and Ethernet circuits. Our searchable database includes over 500,000 transactional prices for local access circuits from 2012 to the present.
This subscription also includes our semi-annual Local Access Pricing Report, which analyzes and compares trends in local access service pricing, competition, and purchasing patterns.

What do you get in our SD-WAN dataset?
This database allows users to simulate market pricing for SD-WAN deployments, customized to network configuration.
Pricing for an SD-WAN deployment varies by the size and throughput of the SD-WAN appliance required for each site, as well by pricing model for each SD-WAN service provider. Our SD-WAN Pricing Calculator allows users to model the market rate for an SD-WAN deployment tuned to their required number of sites and mix of capacity requirements across their network.

What do you get in our TDM dataset?
TDM refers to a point-to-point private line transport service between two locations. In this module, we focus on long-haul city-to-city routes between major global business centers.
The TDM data tables present monthly recurring lease charges and non-recurring installation charges for capacities from 1.5 Mbps (T1) to 2,500 Mbps (STM16-OC48). Currently, there are more than 200 routes in the database that are actively tracked. Users can locate prices for connections to Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Central America, and South America.

What do you get in our MPLS VPN dataset?
TeleGeography’s price benchmark tracks VPN port and capacity charges at capacity increments between 128 Kbps and 10 GigE.
We surveyed service providers offering MPLS-based layer 3 IP VPN services targeted at mid-market/enterprise customers, as well as operators providing services in more than 160 major business capitals across Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, and Latin America.
Service providers fill out pricing tables for their network VPN services. These tables present monthly recurring charges for capacities between 128 Kbps and 10 Gbps for VPN services. Prices go back to 2006.

What do you get in our Wavelengths dataset?
Wavelengths are high-capacity point-to-point optical transport services between two locations, using dense wavelength-division multiplexing. In this module, we focus on long-haul city-to-city routes between major global business centers.
TeleGeography directly surveys facilities-based service providers that offer point-to-point wavelength service. Carriers complete a matrix of available routes and capacities and indicate the non-recurring installation fees and monthly recurring charges.
Data is collected on capacities from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps based on a lease term of one-year. Currently, there are more than 200 routes in our database that are actively tracked. Users can locate prices for connections to Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Central America, and South America.

How does TeleGeography collect and manage its pricing data?
TeleGeography directly surveys service providers, carriers, and internet backbone operators. Our team also collates public information gathered from service provider websites.
These efforts have resulted in millions of data points that live across our databases. Individual pricing figures are refreshed on a rolling basis; customers are notified after substantial updates to our datasets. We also let our users know when our analysis has been refreshed.
TeleGeography’s pricing data is unique in its geographic scope and its full range of capacity options (2 Mbp through GigE or 10GigE). We know the carrier eco-system. We understand the WAN technology. And we have historic records of data that others simply do not have.
Who uses TeleGeography's pricing data?
We've provided pricing expertise to thousands of service providers, enterprises, equipment makers, investors, and governments.
Our data is used by carrier product teams to track trends and ensure that their price book matches the market.
These tools are also used by end users as a discovery resource, particularly those looking to add sites in unfamiliar geographies or upgrade capacity at existing sites. They look at our trend data—sourced across many providers through long-term relationships—to assess how the market may have changed over the period of their contract and how they might optimize their spend to get more capacity.
Through our work, enterprises looking to transform their WAN—perhaps by adding additional capacity through internet/broadband, upgrading MPLS connections, or using SD-WAN on top of a hybrid underlay network—can get a full view of the options for improving their experience.
